whole mind, the whole attention.'

What mighty being will join the
third angel in the last warning to man
and lighten the earth with his glory?
Rev. 18:1, 2.
NoTE.—"I saw angels hurrying to and
fro in heaven, descending to the earth, and
again ascending to heaven, preparing for
the fulfillment of some important event.
Then I saw another mighty angel commis-
sioned to descend to the earth, to unite his
voice with the third angel, and give power
and force to his message. Great power and
glory were imparted to the angel, and as he
descended, the earth was lightened with his
glory. . . .
"Angels were sent to aid the mighty an-
gel from heaven, and I heard voices which
seemed to sound everywhere, 'Come out of
her, My people, that ye be not partakers of
her sins, and that ye receive not of her
plagues. For her sins have reached unto
heaven, and God hath remembered her
iniquities.'

Angels and the Sealing Work
10.
What did John see four angels
doing? Rev. 7:1.
NOTE.—"The time of the work here intro-
duced is established beyond mistake. The
sixth chapter closed with the events of the
sixth seal, and the seventh seal is not men-
tioned until we reach the beginning of Rev-
elation 8. The whole of Revelation 7 is
therefore thrown in here parenthetically.
. . . The expression, 'after these things,'
does not mean after the fulfillment of all
the events previously described, but after
the prophet had been carried in vision to
the close of the sixth seal. . . . It must be
accomplished before the departing of the
heavens as a scroll, for after that event
there is no place for such a work as this.
It must take place after the signs in the
sun, moon, and stars, for these signs have
already been fulfilled, and such a sealing
work has not yet been accomplished. It
comes in therefore between the 13th and
14th verses of Revelation 6. There, as al-
ready shown, is just where we now stand.
Hence the first part of Revelation 7 relates
to a work the accomplishment of which
may be looked for now."—The
Prophecies
of Daniel and the Revelation,

What vitally important work
of another angel is next introduced?
Rev. 7:2, 3.
NOTE.—"I saw four angels who had a
work to do on the earth, and were on their
way to accomplish it. Jesus was clothed
with priestly garments. He gazed in pity
on the remnant, then raised His hands, and
with a voice of deep pity cried,
'My blood,
Father, My blood, My blood, My blood!'
Then I saw an exceeding bright light come
from God, who sat upon the great white
throne, and was shed all about Jesus.
Then I saw an angel with a commission
from Jesus, swiftly flying to the four an-
gels who had a work to do on the earth,
and waving something up and down in his
hand, and crying with a loud voice,
'Hold!
Hold! Hold! Hold!
until the servants of
God are sealed in their foreheads.'
"I asked my accompanying angel the
meaning of what I heard, and what the
four angels were about to do. He said to
me that it was God that restrained the
